Thanks
neutronscott for the solution & explanation
It worked.
As
read exists 2 times it displays alternate lines & remaining lines were inputted as "press any keys". It's clear now
On a different note,
read -s -N 1 is NOT working on bash 3.2 (comes with RHEL 5) but it's working fine on bash 4.2 (RHEL 6).
Thanks again!!

Take a variable such as ROW-D-01, compare it to what's in one line in the text file such as PROD/VM/ROW-D-01 and only input PROD/VM into a variable without the /ROW-D-01.
Is this possible? any help is appreciated. (2 Replies)

gst-complete
gst-complete-0.8(1) User Commands gst-complete-0.8(1)
NAME
gst-complete-0.8, gst-complete - perform bash completion for gst-launch command lines
SYNOPSIS
complete -Cgst-complete-0.8 gst-launch
gst-complete [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print]
DESCRIPTION
gst-complete-0.8 enables bash to provide context-sensitive tab completion for gst-launch command lines. See gst-launch(1) for the syntax of
gst-launch command lines.
You must have a version of bash that supports programmable completion. Such versions of bash provide the complete built-in command.
gst-complete is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-complete-X.X. For example, if both gst-complete-0.7 and gst-
complete-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-complete runs gst-complete-0.8.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by gst-complete-0.8 and gst-complete:
--help Display detailed usage message. You can also use -? to specify this option.
The following options are supported by gst-complete only:
--gst-list-mm List found major/minor versions. This option displays the versions that are available.
--gst-mm=string Force major/minor version. This option enables you to specify a specific version to run, if you do not want to run the
default version.
--print Print wrapped command line. This option displays the command that will be run, and then runs the command.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Generating the Registry of Available Plugins by Running gst-compprep
Run the following command in your .bash_profile or other appropriate place:
example% complete -C gst-complete-0.8 gst-launch
Example 2: Running the Wrapper Script and Displaying the Command Name
example% gst-complete --print
/usr/bin/gst-complete-0.8
FILES
The following files are used by this application:
/usr/bin/gst-complete-0.Executable for bash completion for gst-launch
/usr/bin/gst-complete Wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-complete-X.X
